Big 7 Travel has named the Aran Islands in its its 2022 list of The 50 Best Islands in the World.
Located 30 miles from Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland are the Aran islands - Inis Mór (Inish-more), Inis Meáin (Inish-maan), and Inis Oírr (Inish-eer).
The three rocky isles, known for their stunning natural beauty and rich Irish culture, ranked number 25 on Big 7 Travel's 2022 list, which included such locations as the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador, French Polynesia's Bora Bora, Santorini in Greece, and the Maldives.
Big 7 Travel writes: "These three remote islands off Ireland’s west coast are packed with rural charm and scenery that really will take your breath away.
"Visitors can stroll around them or cycle the brick-lined paths that criss-cross them. An authentic escape from the whirlwind of modern life, its dramatic scenery and famous local hospitality make these a must-visit for anybody who loves Ireland."
